I'd like to hear some discussion of the best way to partition them for a fileserver on a small mixed network.( nt ,macs, and linux) the ultimate goal is the be able to share files and video ( my friend has three kids and the grandparents are in Hong Kong and he would like to eventually have the view his home video over the internet.) Any of you guys have any experience with the tools that would let you do that kind of thing. My best guess is Samba for fileserving over a secure shell. and apache with ssl and a passwords for the video. But I'd like to hear from somebody who has played with this sort of thing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I hope that after I die, people will say of me : " That guy sure owed me a lot of money." -JH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
